Remediation
Fixing the barriers an evaluation found, usually in order of how badly each one blocks people.
Remediation is the work of fixing accessibility barriers once they have been found: adding labels, writing alt text, repairing keyboard handling, raising contrast, restructuring headings, and so on. A good remediation plan orders the work by severity, so a barrier that stops a task comes before one that makes it slower, and by reach, so a fix in a shared component comes before a fix on one page.
The word also appears in legal settlements, where a company agrees to a remediation timeline. Whether or not a lawyer is involved, the record of what was fixed, when, and how it was verified is part of the evidence a team keeps. Remediation ends a project; monitoring keeps the fixes from coming back.
